As usual Steve's honesty is refreshing and I too having seen the title, started to read to amuse myself at the ridiculous nature of this guys ambition. I wonder if when he starting this he had any idea of the mini celebrity status he seems to have achieved and as we all like a bit of attention now and again, I wonder how intoxicating this becomes as time goes on and more attention is given!............ its hard enough to find something to make people smile on some days and another example that coffee/coffee related stuff can help do that, even *$$ (sorry cant resist) makes me smile as well ................ great stuff more power to the chap but it does make me wonder what is a man to do once all outlets have been done !!!!!!!!! or will the green machine take over the world and open more shops per day than this man can visit ?? ** shudder ** It does sound on the surface as the perfect vehicle for one of life’s, shall we say “eccentrics” ? and having not seen the film but reading the comments shows that as with most things there is more than what appears on the surface.

Was he as hyped in real life (I wondered if he was playing to the cameras a little). As I say I thought he came out at the end as a cool guy with an idea, it could have so easily been anything else. Good watch. WOW I’m impressed Aaron. Was he as hyped in real life (I wondered if he was playing to the cameras a little).

Funny you should mention Winter. I just heard from him the other day. As you know, I used to do a spot of managing for Big Green. One day I came into my store and my baristas were all excited because this guy came in the night before...some guy who was trying to hit ever Starbucks ever, etc., etc. I knew about him and was a little sorry I had missed him. The next day, however, when I came in in the morning, there he was, sitting at one of my tables. I immediately recognized him and went in to say hi. We chatted a bit and whatnot. After that he visited my store whenever he was in town (Philadelphia). Well, the other day I get an email from him out of the blue. He had been the first customer at a Philly area sbux opening and my old district manager recognized him and gave him the scoop that I had started my own company and all. He sent a nice email and said he'd come by when he was home (he lives in Texas). No big deal. Just funny timing. Ha! Funny you should mention Winter. I just heard from him the other day.
